BLOG AWARDS

Since I ventured into the world of blogging last year, I have made so many special connections with other beautiful women, who share their talents and lives through their blogs. Over the past few (super-busy) weeks, I have been on the receiving end of three "blog awards", from dear friends who enjoy visiting my corner of the world on blogland. I've been a bit remiss in acknowledging, and passing on, these awards, but I now have time to sit down and share them here!

Take a look at this little cutie:

Just the look of the 'award' made me smile, before I read the sentiment behind it. I received this award from two wonderful women, who inspire me and make me laugh on a regular basis ... it is a bit eerie how much I have in common with Jodene and Helen! Jodene, I can't wait to catch up with you at Convention next May; and Helen, I'll see you in a couple of weeks! Thank you both for passing this award on to me!!

Thank you, Patrice; you already know I think you are a sweetheart! Wish we lived closer.

With cupcakes, polka dots, hearts and a cute owl, these awards just make my heart sing! Too cute!

Now, the condition of receiving these awards is that I tell you a few things about myself, then I pass the awards on to 5 others whose blogs I love. Boy oh boy ... that is no easy task. I know that some of my much-loved blogging friends have already received these awards recently, so I have decided to share the love around a bit. First, though, I'll tell you three gripping facts about myself:

﻿I am a stickler for correct spelling and punctuation, and missed my calling as a professional proofreader! LOL.

I think a world without tomatoes and cheese would not be worth living in. (Oh, and Pascall's marshmallows in the 4 colours, for that matter.)

I have a bit of a strange affliction when it comes to hanging out my washing. If a piece of clothing requires 2 pegs, they HAVE to match in colour. Must have matching pegs!! I've been known to not hang something on the line if I can't match the pegs. (Sad, but true. Actually, I'm quite proud of this quirk in my personality!)

I am going to pass on the "Cherry on Top" award (for the simple reason that it was the first I received, and I've just done a bit of amalgamation in this post, that unnecessarily confuses things!) to the following women who bring a lot of joy to my life:

You're funny Christine! I'm the same with the pegs, although I will still hang clothes out if they don't match. I solved the problem though by buying the pink pegs one year to support breast cancer. No worries matching when they're all pink!

Thank you so much Christine. I love your 3 gripping facts, I totally agree with 1 & 3, but I would have to change 2 to Chocolate. PS sorry Christine, but Chris's Rocky Road went down a treat on Saturday, I don't think there was any left to post to you : (xox
